Wanted to see what Muran thought about the upcoming playoffs in the Northern Region??

Briar Woods vs. Broad Run game of the week?! What a joke. Everyone has been talking up Briar Woods all year long and they just keep on losing. And they will lose yet again. They will end up being hyped as the best 3-8 team ever.

^^^ NOT MURAN

Tilly will shock Madison 31-14. Heard it here first, folks.

I heard Chantilly's quarterback was the one that had a breakdown and got tasered by police in the boys bathroom. Heard this from a football team parent. Pretty sure they aren't winning.

West po dominate win
South Lakes lives another day
Robinson squeezes out the W
Lake Braddock pitches the shut out
Westfield W

Both teams too many penalties. Centreville came to play tonight. Robinson cheap shot artists. Idiot no. 27 almost cost his team the game trying to get one last cheap shot on final play of game gave Centreville one more chance almost completed hail mary. Not sure who #27 for Robinson is but he is a royal piece of shit, must have taken at least 6 cheap shots that we counted in the stands.

WP at soco
Chantilly at Robinson
SL at WF
Battlefield at LB

at the end of the day #27 is a child, a kid someone's kid, remember that

Some ones kid who is acting a fool, it takes a village to raise an idiot, maybe just maybe an a$$ Whooping by some ones parent solves the issue...remember he's just a kid who will continue to be a prick until some one punches him in the nose, you sorry sack of enabler!

The South Lakes Oakton game was the worst officiated game I have ever seen. It was easily 10 to 1 flags against Oakton. Calls were blatant against Oakton. Then to top it off they bad the last TD upheld after the SL kid dropped the ball in the endzone. South Lakes stole one tonight.

What were you on the field while the game was going on? Oakton got flagged 10 times more because they were holding 10 times more. They did call a roughing the qb penalty on SL and didn't call one on a more obvious one against oakton (at least from my perspective in the stands- the SL qb is a lot smaller than oaktons too). Bitching about the refs is just a bunch of whiney loser talk anyway. Enjoy your offseason redistricting bowl losers.

What's with LB coach? Is he mentally ill? Leaving starters in when up by 42 and trying to make a playoffs run.

They raised a piece of shit. He took a countless cheap shots, one that should have resulted in a ejection when the whistle had blown and the player was defenseless. Need no lectures from you, if this assessment of their child's character stings, they need to self reflect and have him get his behavior under control because his play does not belong on the football field.

The Eastman brothers, Tammaro, Snedeker, Rossi, Meehan...sparks and Montgomery...madison went down and they were shocked! Chargers were on!

It was a fun game to watch at South Lakes tonight. It was probably one of the better games in the region. Two teams battled and the Seahawks were just better in the end. They made more plays than Oakton. South Lakes has had a very good season. Good luck next week.

Let's take a step back and before talking about the cheap late hits #27 from Robinson made, make are we don't forget the TARGETING #6 on centreville did. Defenseless kid, okay was ready past them, and richbourg aimed straight for his head. Knocked the Robinson kid out and then centreville celebrated. If that was the NFL, he would have been kicked out of the game.
Sounds like a cville parent is just upset that their mighty wildcats went 4-6 and then lost first round of the playoffs. Both teams had their cheap shots and both teams got punished for them.

Chantillys defense in the second half was beyond impressive. Dline led by Hajibadri, had put pressure on Gastrock all night. Solid win by Tilly.

The number 9 , 11, 12 and 13 seeds either won or were leading in the fourth....looks like 16 is not a bad number

Nope, he would not have been kicked out of the game douche bag, it was a clean hit, watched the tape frame by frame, clean block against a player stepping up to make a tackle. #6 had just been checked for a concussion from the cheap shot he received from #27 while on the ground after the whistle had blown. Clearly fired up from the dirt bag behavior. He was targeted two other times and Robinson was flagged once and should have been flagged a 2nd time.

Agreed. When SL threw the pick after going down a touchdown early in the 4th and Oakton took it in to go up by 2 touchdowns SL looked finished. #3 for Oakton was running wild on them and making up 2 tds against a concorde team isn't like making up that deficit against Langley. They converted a 4th down on the next series deep in their own territory and took it in to close the gap. Kudos to coach Taylor and the SL kids for never giving up.

Why does everyone make the assumption that if someone makes comments about the refs or cheap shots that they are saying it cost a team to lose. Didn't see or read that Robinson won because of those calls or missed calls. Yes the refs were bad. What else is new!! It was a game that was fun to watch and wasn't over to the last play of the game. The wildcats put up a good fight. Good luck to Robinson in the weeks to come.

I don't give lectures I give advice, get ur kids tougher, mentally and physically or you wouldn't be on a mb crying and whining. if your a coach coach them up if your a parent toughen your kids up, if their were no flags then its your opinion and it aint worth a crap, cuz games over and that team is on to next week and your on here whining.

Nufan has this right, better team won last night. It was a great game, both teams made stupid penalties, but Robinson scored when they needed to. I'm just saying #27 does not need to play the way he does. Don't try the moral equivalency game, cause it's not accurate. Get that kid under control before it costs you a game as it almost did last night.

I went to the Chantilly/Madison game last night. In full disclosure, my son plays for one of the Conference 6 teams that didn't make the playoffs. We decided last night to go to one of the playoff games, maybe to get motivation for next season. We sat on the Chantilly side, but were really neutral in the game. We also ended up being joined by four of my son's teammates.

Here are my thoughts on the game. In the first half, it looked like Madison was going to run away with the game. Everything was working offensively, in the pass game, in the run game, and defensively. Madison was up 16-7 at halftime. Madison had two touchdowns and a safety.

To open up the second half, Chantilly got the ball, but they turned it over on their first possession. Madison moved it a bit, but Chantilly's defense stiffened, and Madison had to settle for a field goal. Score was 19-7. Chantilly drover for a TD after that score, to make it 19-14. In my opinion, the game turned on Madison's next drive. They took over with about 4 minutes left in the third quarter. They decided to pass. THey had three consecutive incompletions. In my opinion, from a game management standpoint, that was exactly the wrong thing to do. Madison's running game was still working, and that's what they should have done. I think they could have gotten a couple of first downs, and milked the clock before turning the ball over to Chantilly. After that, Chantilly's offense seemed to start working. A few of their scoring drives were extended when their receivers got open deep in the secondary. Madison blew a few coverages. As soon as Chantilly got the lead, you just knew that they were going to win.

I give Chantilly a lot of credit for not giving up and making some necessary halftime adjustments, but I think part of the reason for Madison losing was due to some questionable play calling on offense. All in all it was a good game, well-played on both sides for the most part, and it was a shame that someone had to lose.

I completely agree. Also #16 was tied(!) with #1 as late as the middle of the fourth quarter

2/15 went to form. Of course, #15 was Woodson and #2 was Lake Braddock, and let's face it, it's a complete fluke that Woodson is in the playoffs. They aren't really a playoff-calibre team.

3/14 went to form. Washington-Lee (#14) had a nice end to their season, and apparently played well last night, but talent-wise, they are no match for Westfield.

7/10 went to form, but I don't know much about how competitive that game was.

Correction to my post: Annandale and South County were tied at 14 as late as the middle of the THIRD quarter, not Fourth as I original posted. My mistake.

Lake Braddock is vulnerable to any team left. They let Woodson march right down the field the first two drives of the game, but Woodson threw a pick in the redzond on the first and had a field goal blocked from the 6 on the second. If they had went for the TD they could have led. I wouldn't be surprised if they are knocked out before the region final.

But wasn't the final score 49-0? That's what the Post is reporting. They aren't providing any other details.

I am sorry what was the score of the Lake Braddock game?

Sounds like if Woodson would have scored on the first 2 drives they would have won!

Oh my goodness, Lake Braddock is so vulnerable that someone ALMOST scored on them in the first 2 drives! If that happens the game must be over! It doesn't even matter what Lake Braddock does when they have the ball or the rest of the game.

I am so glad you shared that with everyone, Be aware Lake Braddock will be on upset alert, someone may score on them on the first drive of the game!

LB is very vulnerable, Woodson was able to move the ball more than a couple times and then stalled near red zone. Woodson couldn't tackle worth a crap a lot of LB things were off missed tackles. comparing them to what soco did and I could def see them possibly getting upset

-------------------------------

Washington & Lee was overwhelmed last night, the score was 44-0 Westfield mid 4th quarter when not only the 2nd but 3rd string players went in. Westfield had freshman football players playing on both side of the ball in the final 6 minutes.

That would be why W&L scored anything because up to that point they were shut down by WF's defense. On a positive note for WF they actually developed a little running game last night, play calling didn't seem to be as predictable as it has been this year.

Hey faggot, I really don't know what happened all I heard was a bunch of nigger names and some hillbilly NASCAR driver but they won't make it through to the region final.

You sound like a bitter child. All I am saying is that based on how they pretty much bent over early to a 4-6 team half their size, a good team with size would have rammed it down their throat.

LB is no more vulnerable than any of the rest of the teams in the playoffs.
All of the teams have strengths and weaknesses.

SoCo Runs a high risk offense turnovers against good teams could hurt them
Roboinson Can not throw the ball one dimensional
Chantilly inconsistent on O and D
LB Defense plays well but inconsistent
West Pot Do they have enough to surprise SoCo
Westfield Strong D, not enough O
SL Lucky they got by Oakton
Battlefield Haven't seen them

Let me bail you out so the Real Westfield fans don't get piled on here like they Normally do by all the haters...it was 29 to 7 Westfield at half, yes W&L were overwhelmed...Westfield extended the lead to 44 to 7 then the 2nd, 3rd, fourth teams and a few freshmen did in fact play allowing W&L to get 2 late feel good scores in the 4th qtr...

Also a huge upset in the South #8 Riverbend (4-6) beat #1 Colonial Forge (9-1)

Yes, Virginia, it would seem that Briar Woods is the best 3-8 team in the history of the sport.

They just rolled over and died.

That south lakes win was great on so many levels due to the ugliness of the redistricting.

Seen most of them at least once. Agreed everyone flawed. Have to say even though they are both seriously flawed on offense, Westfield and Robinson's defense could get them to the finals. Robinson would be slight favorite in rematch.

------------------------------------------

How do you think Robinson would be favored in a rematch. They both have very good defenses, however WF's is a stronger. If I'm not mistaken they had the 3rd ranked D going into the post season in 6A. Offensively Robinson doesn't throw the ball because they can't. WF's problem all year has been their play calling on offense. Three different coaches calling plays based off of some unkown formula. This past Friday, the play calling was more balanced mainly due to one of those coaches being purposely left out of any opportunity to call anything. The pass set up the run the run set up the pass. WF doesn't have a premier RB as in the past but please make no mistake, WF has had the skill players in place on O all year to make plays. The two biggest obstacles up till this point has been having those kids not on the field and playcalling. That might actually be changing!

Does anyone know how LBSS' Jet Ryan is doing?

As a spectator at the Woodson v LBSS game on Friday, it troubled me that it took so long to get an EMT on the field, never mind getting the ambulance moving. Is it normal for the press box people to have to announce the need for an EMT on the field?

Playoff schedules. Wondering if they could work something out where you don't have to face a team within your district the first game. West Potomac, South county and Robinson will face them back to back. Last year Cville faced three PW county teams in a row before they played WF. Just a thought.

Robinson is a better offensive team. It's not the play calling it's the pathetic offensive line. They played a lousy opponent on Friday night. Robinson, Will get two scores Westfield one. Don't delude yourself off of one game. Your defense is great your offense is just horrible against real teams. I think you're good enough to make finals not win

I know chantilly won there game so it set up the game with Robinson

Relax people you guys have to realize how difficult it is to not only beat a team twice but to also get kids pumped up for teams who they destroyed in the regular season. LB will be fine you can't judge them on how they looked in the first round (in a game they won 49-0. Fact is that most of these kids are playing their final football games ever so they're going to go all out balls to the wall against anyone they play in hopes to extend their seasons before they wind up on this board with us lol. Every game can't be a blowout 60-0

6A
16 Annandale @ 1 South County (-25.0)
*South County won 35-21. Annandale had a very respectable season and went out with a great effort.

9 West Potomac @ 8 West Springfield (-3.0)
*West Potomac won 40-19. So much talk of West Springfield on here, what a disappointing season. Honestly the most inconsistent team that comes to mind, several great performances then head scratchers like the Woodson loss. West Po is very good and I was surprised when the Spartans crushed them in the regular season, so the result isn't all that surprising.

12 Centreville @ 5 Robinson (-7.5)
*Robinson won 24-21. Knew Centreville would make it closer.

13 Chantilly @ 4 Madison (-10.0)
*Chantilly won 27-19. Two years in a row, Chantilly gets a big postseason victory on the road. Told you middle of the pack Concorde is still pretty damn good.

14 Washington-Lee @ 3 Westfield (-14.0)
*Westfield won 44-20.

11 Oakton (-7.0) @ 6 South Lakes
*South Lakes won 35-28 on two late TDs.

10 Hayfield @ 7 Battlefield (-14.0)
*Battlefield won 36-21.

15 WT Woodson @ 2 Lake Braddock (-35.5)
*Lake Braddock won 49-0.

Local 5A
9 Potomac Falls (-14.0) @ 8 Wakefield
*Potomac Falls won 21-6.

12 Orange @ 5 Stone Bridge (-28.0)
*Stone Bridge won 49-13.

13 Briar Woods @ 4 Broad Run (-7.0)
*Broad Run won 44-17.

14 Marshall @ 3 Brooke Point (-30.0)
*Brooke Point won 36-0. Still a great season for Marshall.

15 Patrick Henry @ 2 Tuscarora (-17.0)
*Tuscarora won 42-7.

Here are this week's quarterfinal predictions.

5A
Atlee @ Tuscarora (-21.0)

Potomac Falls @ Massaponax (-10.0)
*Pot Falls is a very dangerous 8 seed, don't sleep on them.

Stone Bridge @ Broad Run (-2.0)
*What a game and atmosphere this will be. SB took the regular season match up by 2 TDs.

6A
9 West Potomac @ 1 South County (-14.5)

13 Chantilly @ 5 Robinson (-7.0)
*Robinson is the better team, but I was at the regular season match up, it was a wet night with a lot of well placed dropped balls by Chantilly. Had they caught a few it would have been a very different ball game. Chantilly is definitely capable of getting this W but Robinson has the advantage on both lines and for that reason they need to be the odds favorite.

7 Battlefield @ 2 Lake Braddock (-13.0)
*These schools have played for state titles and have quite the matchup history in the old 4 region format. Battlefield is always well coached and strong, it won't be an easy one for Braddock but they are still the better team.

Not much you can do unless you unfairly lower a seed and give them a tougher match up. It will be even more common when they go to four regions and a team will have played the majority of their potential opponents.

Thanks for comments on game - I heard Madison had some late turnovers in 4th Quarter? Either way a great turn-around for the Warhawks going from 1-9 to 9-1 in 2 years.

Especially considering one of their nine losses was to TJ (TJ's last win).

Robinson is a better offensive team. It's not the play calling it's the pathetic offensive line. They played a lousy opponent on Friday night. Robinson, Will get two scores Westfield one. Don't delude yourself off of one game. Your defense is great your offense is just horrible against real teams. I think you're good enough to make finals not win

___________________________________________________________________________

How do you think Robinson is going to move the ball to score twice? They can only run it, WF's is one of the if not the best D's in 6A North. The first time they played Robinson was in the red zone twice I think, that's it. If the do play again and I doubt they will, you're delusional if you think Robinson would score twice let alone at all. But, I doubt Robinson will get past SOCO if they get that far, Chantilly wont be a pushover. I also doubt WF will get past Lake Braddock, just can't score enough to keep up and it's LB's time when it comes to a post season W against WF!

Let's remember that Cville moved the ball on WF on the ground and scored twice. Almost had a third. Just saying.

yea… And Centreville lost more games this season than Westfield in the last three combined...

That's correct. After that three and out, Chantilly drove for a FG, to make the score 19-17. Madison turned it over on their next possession, which lead to another FG, to make it 20-19, Chantilly. On Madison's next possession, I think their QB threw in interception to give Chantilly the ball, which lead to their TD. I know there were two Madison turnovers, but I may not be remembering all the details correctly.

I talked with my son the next morning, and he reminded me that Chantilly's QB deserved a lot of credit for their comeback.

It was a great turnaround for Madison. Hopefully my son's team can have a similar turnaround.

Your commentary on the Chantilly vs Madison game reminded me of a similar occurrence in the South Lakes vs Oakton game. South Lakes drove for a touchdown to close trim the Oakton lead to 28-21 with about 6 minutes left. On Oakton's next possession they threw an incomplete pass on 1st down. Several of us watching on the SL side were wondering why they didn't run the ball to burn some clock. They ran the ball on second down for a minimal gain but again tried to pass on 3rd down which was intercepted by SL and returned to the Oakton 3. SL then punched it in to tie the game. I wouldn't say Oakton was running the ball at will all night on SL but they did have success running the ball in the 4th quarter with #3 in the Wildcat.

#16 was not tied late in the fourth quarter. It was 14-14 at the half, and 35-14 by the end of the third. Not sure where you got that info from!!

Wrong 1 even you were wrong it was neither "#16 was not tied late in the fourth quarter. It was 14-14 at the half, and 35-14 by the end of the third. Not sure where you got that info from!!"

No it was 7-7 at the half and SoCo scored 28 in the third qtr.

You need to read a bit more and not jump to conclusions. Immediately after I posted that, I corrected my post. Annandale and SC were tied in the 3rd quarter at one point, 14-14.

Let me help you with that:

Correction to my post: Annandale and South County were tied at 14 as late as the middle of the THIRD quarter, not Fourth as I original posted. My mistake.

Here are my predictions (6A only):

Robinson wins, but doesn't cover. But I agree with Steve that this is the best chance for an upset.

Braddock wins and covers.

Agree. Westfield wins and covers. I think they'll win by 28.

6A
9 West Potomac @ 1 South County (-14.5)

Seeing what WP did in their rematch with WS gives me pause on this one. It's hard to beat someone twice. I think that this will certainly be closer than your spread and may even go the other way.


13 Chantilly @ 5 Robinson (-7.0)
*Robinson is the better team, but I was at the regular season match up, it was a wet night with a lot of well placed dropped balls by Chantilly. Had they caught a few it would have been a very different ball game. Chantilly is definitely capable of getting this W but Robinson has the advantage on both lines and for that reason they need to be the odds favorite.

I'll take Robinson but they won't cover that spread.


7 Battlefield @ 2 Lake Braddock (-13.0)
*These schools have played for state titles and have quite the matchup history in the old 4 region format. Battlefield is always well coached and strong, it won't be an easy one for Braddock but they are still the better team.

Braddock wins and covers


6 South Lakes @ 3 Westfield (-24.0)
*Westfield will cruise.

Westfield wins and covers.

How will football work out with no freshman athletics? Is the school board out of it's mind?

The school board has made no such recommendation; an independent board looking to cut costs did. But either way, why couldn't those numbers just be absorbed into the JV and Varsity teams? And I'm not sure but can't freshman still play FPYC?

_______________________________________________________________________________

Yes, freshman (so long as they are not huge) can play FPYC. Fact is, with the dwindling number of kids that are playing youth football in NOVA, and with what appears to be the shrinking rosters of the high school teams, cutting freshman football may not be so horrible.

That said, cutting athletic programs (which are a drop in the bucket compared to the overall FCPS budget) seems to be akin to putting a band aid on a broken leg. It won't accomplish much.

You're out of your mind. Fairfax county high schools are already at a dissadvantage compared to the rest of the state with no middle schools sports. Take away freshman football and your varsity programs -- especially on the Offensive and defensive lines -- will suffer. We already get LOTS of bigger kids who've never been able to play until they high 9th grade because of their size. If they were to make that move, the Northern Region may not ever win another state title. In anything.

Rolling them into the JV/Varsity program isn't the answer either. There's a BIG jump in maturity and testosterone levels from 14 year olds to 17 or 18 year olds. The health and safety issues alone won't let it happen. And what would that really save? you'd need more buses for those bigger teams to travel.

There's no way they are going to do away with freshman sports.

The Fairfax County Youth Football League, FCYFL, has made adjustments within the past year or two, to accommodate the big Boys. The 130# weight class at the entry age of 12, is now unlimited for these individuals weight. As well at the 155# Class their entry age 13 yr. old is now also unlimited as to weight. there are restrictions as for position relative to weight...i.e. no 250# 13 yr. olds carrying the Ball however their is now another option for these young men. #12 and #13 year olds are the majority of your 7th and 8th graders they have an outlet to play. The issue(s) relative to Roster size etc...has far deeper roots

Hyperbole much? I'm not convinced that VBA kids playing middle school football are any better off than Fairfax kids playing club football. There is virtually no change if freshman play JV - some sophmores and juniors just move up. VBA doesn't have freshman football, and I'm sure you wouldn't say they may never win a state championship as a result.

For the record, I seriously doubt that FCPS really cares about whether NR football teams are competitive against the SR teams. Outside of the high school football fanboy universe, nobody cares.

Yet here you are bothering to see, open, read and comment on a high school football thread. FANBOY!

doesn anyone know why annandale stood behind south countys huddle after the game? it seemed odd..

Ihave bin to a couple of westfield games this year and I notised that they let little kids play unsupervised on the sideline. Against Washington Lee game their where at times 10 kids under 10 just running around. They was frequently playing across the restraining line and sometimes actually onto the field of play when the action was at the other end. This is dangerous and someone is going to get hurt. I don't undersand how VHSL officials could let this happen.

***********************************************************************
Agreed, most are coaches kids, a few friends of those kids. It's been like that all year, seems like the group is getting larger each week. If one of them doesn't get hurt then eventually a player will, just a matter of time.

That's how Westfield Stays so competitive year after year...the sideline feeder program, those little kids are tough, I have seen more officials and players hurt this year, and those "little" kids are not even wearing uniforms, yet they pound on each other every game... maybe if your kids were not wussified they might get invited to play....? in any event a sideline Band is forming as well as Junior dance team..your kids should fit in some where!

Well that all depends on the Ass.. if the ass looks good enough you can see it from the front

It was odd; then they seem to have walked away. Did Annandale shake hands?????

Annadales coach Mike Scott is a complete ass hole... He should have been fired after he shook the band tower a couple years ago, what a hot head

We were heading out to avoid the traffic, but I think the team skipped the handshake line after South County went into their post-game knee-down. Not sure.......if its true we should apologize.

Yes, I would assume that Friday though maybe Saturday.

LOTS of jerk coaches out there, in HS football and in other VHSL sports! TOO EAST to name the good ones and EASIER to name the dirt bags .... so what? Good coaches bring winning programs over time, bad ones lose.......

Both games will be on Saturday the 28th, usually at 1:00pm. Region final Saturday December the 5th, State Championship Saturday December the 12th.

The old board has really Quieted down now that the Madison, Centreville and Oakton big mouths are sitting out Friday Nights...coincidence?

I agree 100% ?? Great teams and great games left this weekend but crickets on the site about actual football issues. Weather will not be an issue tomorrow night so play ball and may the best teams WIN!

This is funny looking back at it 56-21 LB won

Really. Big mouths. It's what makes this boArd fun. Go have some pie you loser.

Maybe the boards are quiet because people realize that northern region football is not that great this year and all the teams remaining are sort of OK but not nearly as good as teams of years past so everybody's bored and moved onto other topics and activities.

Or maybe they are just tired of getting abused every time they make any comments on certain teams. Or more likely it's put up or shut up time and people are just waiting to see what happens.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Not so sure about that, there are still 3 pretty good 6A North teams playing tonight. I think when people talk about the region being down the past few years, at least in 6A, it's based on the Centreville teams from the previous two.

The past two seasons Centreville essentially had a dream team, arguably one of the best teams to have ever come out of this area. Please keep in mind I am NOT a Centreville fan or supporter however it's hard to argue that teams talent.

But if you look back before that there were very few "stacked" teams from the region, just a bunch of teams that had a couple star players. These teams, like most from this area, were well coached and played to their strengths.

Over that period the Northern Region teams still dominated in regard to state championships, 18 dating back to 1986. During that same period the Beach area teams won 6, Central Virginia team 5.

So don't get too caught up in the "region seems to be a little down this year" talk. The only difference in these past two is that Ocean Lakes has assembled a team similar to the Centreville team of 2013.

However, now that the recruiting issues of the beach area schools are under scrutiny there might be more balance returning to that area of the state in the upcoming years. But to think the North doesn't have talented teams or players currently compared to the past might be a bit inaccurate.

Any final four predictions heading into tonight's games?? Mine would be SC, Rob, LB, and WF. If that falls true, we are all in for some really solid football next weekend!!

_________________________________________________________________________

Yep, that would be what I'm thinking, truly the 4 tops teams in 6A North this year.

I have been pondering the weekend games and I have to say I just don't see any upsets. Sure - they are possible but just pretty unlikely - Oakton pulled a few upsets at the end of 2012 season but they had a great athlete (Kyle Downer) and really gelled at the end. I don't feel like any of the underdogs out there with a game-changer like that.

Battlefield has had a really soft schedule and the last few years Prince William County teams have folded when going against the top teams in 6A North.

This is the round that SoCo has had trouble with but I find it hard to believe that West Potomac can last 4 quarters with the Stallions.

Chantilly just doesn't seem to have the size and strength to deal with a team like Robinson although they do have a great QB. I saw Chantilly vs Stone Bridge and Westfield and their defense was not stout enough.

South Lakes is also really undersized compared to Westfield and while I expect them to be able to hang with Westfield for a half or so in the end they will be too much.

Best game in the area will probably the Stone Bridge-Broad Run game. With SB QB Thompson back I'll take SB. Broad Run is no Briar Woods though - they know how to win so it will not be a cake-walk.

If Robinson wins tonight and SC wins tonight, do you think they have what it takes to beat SC next round?

The outcome of that game will depend more on SC's execution and less on what Robinson does. If Soco executes well, they will win. If Robinson wins, it's probably going to be due to something Soco didn't do well on their own - turnovers, etc.
